A Body rear shocks
i was relying to yellow rose who said not to use ss springs and to use Caltrac's instead.
Because it's a street car. Because the SS spring isn't the best way to do anything. And I still see guys using them. So what? If you actually changed the springs and went to a real traction system ou might find the car is considerably quicker.
I've never ever changed out a SS spring and and went slower. Ever. Or a pinion snubber.
So, after all that, I'll add this. If you stop and learn chassis, and chassis tuning, the first thing you learn is the SS spring and pinion snubber actually work against what you are trying to do. Why shove the *** up in the air to plant the tire? Then you also have the stink bug look of those things.
It's time to say they had a time and place and that has long since passed. I spent exactly two trips to the track with my SS springs in 1984 and they came off and went in the scrap. I wouldn't sell them to an enemy. I was quicker with slapped bars. Then I bought a chassis car that same year, installed a 4 link (which in 1984 was unheard of for a bracket car) and never looked back.
I lump ladder bars and SS springs in the same category. Of a Caltrac style bar won't get it done, go to a 4 link.
